Hi, I'm brand new here and just stumbled across this site as I was looking at cool cars (sportscar fan since IMSA GTP days, annual ALMS race attendee/follower). I've kicked around the idea of building an FFR for awhile, but not sure if I'm up to the task or have the time. Now that I've seen the SLC and Apex, I'm hoping I will get to find out at some point! Not really a fan of the GTM (looks too much like a kit modified Vette to me and lower tech) and while I like their roadster a lot, I'd prefer to do something modern if I did one.
Enough intro stuff, here's what I'm curious about: Has anyone built an SLC with the Eclipse/Talon engine in it?
The reason I ask is I really like the SLC, but not sure I will be likely to ever divert enough $ from other things to afford to do it. The Apex is also nice and could be an option for me. So a possible way in to either car would be to find a used Eclipse and start learning about tricking out the engine in it (I know little about that right now). I could wind up with a decent Eclipse, rip it apart and make an Apex, or put the engine in an SLC. Since I'm not experienced at such things, I wanted to see if someone's paved the way and also learn from their experiences.
